Williams offers 'Batwoman' update

Posting on his blog, the writer-artist assured fans that work on the comic is commencing but could not disclose reasons for its latest postponement.

"Well, it's obvious to many that Batwoman's release has been pushed back yet again. This was not our choice, and as to why, I'm not at liberty to really discuss," he wrote. "So the release may be farther away now, but be assured that work is still commencing."

Williams - who is collaborating with W. Haden Blackman and Amy Reeder on the project - went on to say that the benefit of the delay is additional time to complete more of the story arc.

"The only real downside is that solicits were pulled on us twice, making readers heads spin, wish that didn't happen, but it has, let's just make the best of it," he added.

"I'm fast approaching the middle of issue 3's interior art, Haden and I've started working on script for issue #8, the first five covers are done, and Dave [Stewart] has had issue #2 in his hands for his special magic touch."

Batwoman was originally slated for February this year, before its debut was moved to April. A new release date is yet to be confirmed.
